RIX FM increased its daily listener figure by 32% compared to last year and RIX FM’s morning show ‘RIX MorronZoo’ grew in popularity and now attracts more than 800,000 daily listeners for the first time ever. Ten former NRJ Stations are included in the research figures for RIX FM. Following RIX FM’s previously announced agreements with stations in the Swedish cities of Norrköping and Linköping, RIX FM’s national penetration increased to 88%. Those two new stations are not included in the figures above. MTG’s radio network ‘Lugna Favoriter’ maintained its position as the most listened-to commercial radio station in Stockholm, closely followed by RIX FM. NRJ’s remaining three radio stations, now operated by MTG, increased their national daily reach from 2.9% to 3.2%. The MTG Radio network in Sweden consists of 53 out of Sweden’s 86 commercial radio stations.
